Shoppers go wild for ‘perfect’ M&S summer dress – and show how you can go from day to night with a change of bag
WHEN you pack for your summer holidays, it is always a toss-up between taking enough outfits and trying to avoid being charged for excess baggage.
As the countdown to summer has begun, M&S fans claim to have found the perfect holiday dress that can go from day to night with just a change of bag.
As the name suggests, the M&S Pure Cotton Square Neck Midi Beach Dress is the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe.
Ideal for showing off your tan, the dress comes in a classic black and has a ‘stunning tiered midi-length skirt’ with an contrasting white trim.
The summer essential is also easy to throw on over a bikini, as it has an elasticated waistband which gives the dress a stunning A-line silhouette.
Unlike other midi dresses on the high street, this holiday essential has square neckline, with adjustable straps, that will look effortlessly chic as you explore the local area.
Made from a super-comfortable and breathable cotton, the dress is also great for relaxing poolside or spending sunny days by the beach.
Easy to style with sandals or heels, this summery dress will be perfect to add to your suitcase before you jet off on your next holiday.
However, it isn’t the only reason why we are obsessed with the high street buy.
After spotting the dress from M&S, influencer Molly Paris showed just how versatile it is.
Rather than changing into an alternative outfit, the content creator easily transitioned from day to night just by swapping out her handbag. (Yes you read that right).
During the viral video, she initially styled the black dress with round sunnies, tan sandals and a straw bag in a similar shade.
The fashionista then added a classic black cardigan and straw clutch for an elevated evening look, restyling the M&S dress in just seconds.
Needless to say, her followers were impressed with the clip gaining over 3300 views on TikTok.
If you weren’t already sold on this summer essential, the dress is currently available in sizes 8 – 24 on the M&S website.
You can also choose from a range of lengths, including short, medium and tall – so you won’t have to worry about getting the perfect fit either.
Before you start planning your holiday looks though, it is worth noting that some sizes of the black version have already sold out online.
As the frock is just £35 right now, we expect it to sell out before the start of the summer holidays so it is worth checking your local store for your size.
Even if you miss out though, you shouldn’t despair as the dress is also available in a stunning emerald green shade – perfect for anyone who wants to add a pop of colour their holiday wardrobe.
If you are still wanting to revamp your summer wardrobe, the retailer has also brought out a range of spring dresses – all of which are plus size friendly.
In fact, former Bake Off star Laura Adlington was so obsessed with the range that she even made an TikTok about them.
Seems that you are in for a treat if you pick up these stunning summer dresses.
Why Everyone Is Loving M&S
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
“M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about.
“A brand once known for its ‘frumpy fashion’ that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear.
“Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
“The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also.
“Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
“After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
“Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.”
